Macbook Pro wake from sleep issue in Bootcamp

Hi,
My MacBook Pro is running 10.7.2 with the latest bootcamp software.
I use Windows 7 while at work and Lion when at home.
The issue I am having is that when I am working in Windows 7 and I put the MBP to sleep by closing the lid and when I wish to start using W7 again I just reopen the lid and everything seems to be fine but what I find is that webpages seem to start hanging.
If I open a constant ping to the default gateway of my laptop (time capsule) I notice that every now and again i will drop packets.
If I do the same on another Macbook no Pings are dropped during the same period so I know its not wireless interfearance or issue with the TC itself.
If I reboot the MBP and start in W7 again all is fine so it seems its only an issue with W7 and waking from sleep.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Gavin

Hi there.
Both my wife and I have started having this problem with our MacBooks in the last few weeks. On waking from sleep the screen is black (though in the right light you can see that it's active, just not backlit), and the Mac goes to sleep again within a minor or so. Both Macs are less than a year old.
I discovered a fix by accident: give the machine a sharp nudge once it's awake! Makes me think there might be a problem with the motion sensor, in hardware or software. May disable it if this continues.
Hi Mike,
I'm not sure this is really a solution to "sharply nudge" or slap your laptops. If the sudden motion sensor is bad, this is something we should be able to diagnose and have Apple repair. But I'm not entirely sure we have the same issue. For starters I have a 240GB SSD drive in mine that should have no sudden motion sensor, if I'm not mistaken.
These are bright, horizontal bolts, that shoot in perpendicular lines. The irony is that I cannot record them on-screen directly, but have to do so using a hand held camera. I also used the "Apple LCD Tester" and the striping does NOT appear on any of the solid images it kicks up.
I have yet to be able to isolate the source of the disruption and (as I mentioned before) it has a brand new logic board and the problem persists.
BTW, it's not my intention to hijack this thread. I think these threads are related and the only reference I've found in all of the discussions is the one mentioned here. I can start a new thread if I've violated protocol.
Thanks again for everyone's help.

  • When my macbook pro wakes from sleep the curser is not there, no keys work and the screen is frozen so i have to reboot it

    Sometimes when my macbook pro wakes from sleep the curser has disappeared, the screen is frozen and no keys work. I have to reboot.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Why won't my macbook pro wake from sleep?

    My MacBook Pro 13" is awesome.  What is not awesome is that I can't wake it from sleep sometimes.  I have tried pressing keys, trackpad and power button with no success.  When I restart, I get the login screen and it will immediatly go to sleep or it will let me type in the password and then go to sleep.  What is going on here.  I thought that Lion would fix this, but it did not.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    Everything seems okay with my computer.  It did not want to wake up 1 time since my last post.  I closed the laptop, let it sit for a few minutes and when I opened it back up it woke up and was fine.  The only thing I can figure is there is something that happens after the laptop has been charging for awhile.  It seems that everytime the computer didn't want to wake from sleep, it had been charging the battery or had just finished charging.  Weird thing to happen.  If you have this problem happen to you, try the steps mentioned earlier in this post (the answer from tjk) will probably fix it.

  • Why wont my macbook pro wake from sleep when i try to use it?

  • Macbook Pro wake from sleep fails

    I am having problems with my Macbook Pro 15" waking from sleep. I was not having these problems until I re-installed OS X a few weeks ago, and now almost everytime I close the lid and take it home from work it will not wake up properly. It appears to be "half" waking as I can just about make out the image on the screen, but the backlight does not come on, and I can not see a pointer so I have to hold the power button and hard reset it.
    I have also tried downloading the combo update to 10.6.3 and re-applying that to see if that helped, which it seemed to as I had a few days without a problem, then this morning I took it out to a customers site and it didn't wake up again.
    Anyone else having these problems? Anyone got any ideas for a fix?
    I appreciate any help/ideas!!

  • Macbook 11" - wake from sleep issues - Apple can't fix!

    I've had this macbook Air 11.6" since Nov. 2010. Basically since day one I've had issues with waking from sleep from time to time. ( on average, it happens about 1-2 times a month. ). Basically it can happen anytime, this morning it happened after I had used my computer for a few minutes, then I shut the lid, carried it downstairs, opened the lid and it wouldn't wake, so I had to power cycle.
    I've called Apple a few times about it and had it into the store twice - once they replaced the display and the second time the lady cleared some cache ( file with contents of RAM that is written to disk when sleep is entered? ).
    Does anyone have details on clearing this RAM cache? When she did that I didn't have the problem for two months!
    Also does anyone know if Apple has fixed this SW bug? Does it happens with Lion? ( I'm on 10.6.8 update now )
    Regards,
    Randy Krakora

    Have you solved this?
    Got the very same issue with my mbp 13".
    Most of the time, it won't wake up after going to sleep. Typically when it slept longer than 15 to 30 minutes, but not always.
    Brought it to apple and they told me they fixed the issue but that was not the case.
    This is a very tricky issue because it is intermittent, it takes time and it is thus hard to demonstrate at the Genius Bar.
    Been struggling with this for several months with the hope to find a way to reproduce the issue but without success... and apple is unsupportive.

  • Yoga 2 Pro - Wake From Sleep Issue

    Hey Guys,
    Just recently purchased a Y2P (i7 256gb) less than a week ago. The issue i am currently experiencing is when i wake the laptop from sleep, usually at least 15 mins of sleep, the laptop will come up but then the system is considerably laggy/slow & then becomes completely unresponsive so much to the point that it seems as if it freezes. I am not able to move the mouse (trackpad & usb mouse) & the keyboard buttons do not work/register anymore. Pressing the power button does not put the laptop back to sleep but i can still see everything on the screen from where i left off before closing the lid & the laptop goes into sleep mode. Only way i can recover from this issue is to do a hard reset by holding the power button until the machine powers off & then to boot it back up.
    Also, i have updated the BIOS & did all the windows updates from a clean install of Windows 8.1 (different from a factory reset) in order to avoid the Superfish vulnerability. All the drivers have been installed as well (confirmed by the Device Manager).
    Any other people experiencing the same problem & have any potential fix for this issue? Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You can try this -
    Go to Control Panel >> Power Options >> Change Plan Settings (For active plan)
    Click on Change Advanced Power settings
    Under Sleep option, Change the Hybrid Sleep option (to the opposite of whatever is set right now for both On Battery and Plugged In)
    Also, not sure if fastboot is enabled on your laptop but you can try disabling it. Google "Disable fastboot in win 8.1" and you will get the results.
    Let me know if any of those helped you.

  • Black screen after MacBook Pro wakes from sleep; reason, solution?

    Greetings!
    I have 2 MacBook Pro machines; both are running the latest versions of OSX for their age.
    The 2 GHz Core Duo is using 10.6.8 (2GB RAM) and 2.5 GHz Duo Core 2 is using the 10.7.x (4GB RAM).
    Both are routinely used with external monitors. Every so often when either of the machines are put to sleep, the external monitor disconnected, and finally when the machine is woken, the native screen remains black and unlit. If the machine is connected to the external monitor, it shows its appropriate desktop but the finder bar is unavaible so nothing can be done short of forced shut down and a reboot.
    Am I forgetting some simple short cuts (key-bases) to bring the native screen to life or is forced shut-down really necessary?

  • I occasionally have issues waking my macbook pro up from sleep mode and have to restart the computer. The apple store replaced the sleep part but the problem is still there

    I occasionally have issues waking my macbook pro up from sleep mode resulting in my need to restart the computer. I dislike all of my programs opening at once when I do get the computer started becasue it slows the cpu down. The apple store replaced the sleep part but the problem is still there. Note: i never had this problem with snow leopard

    I'm not certain but my new MBA 13...when in sleep mode comes back on from a black screen when I simply click on the left mouse button. Also, one time I did a SECURE EMPTY TRASH on files that totalled more than 1GB and it took so long that the fan kept increasing in speed so I pressed on the POWER button and the MBA shut...I was able to boot up with no problem. As a rule, I now only do secured erases for trash bin data totalling 500mb or less...anything above that gets a regular erase (dump).

  • The wake from sleep issues

    My problems have been a couple of freezes, one boot from sleep, but a UPS overload almost every time I wake up the machine. APC RS1500, nothing connected but the late 2008 Mac Pro and the monitor. Never happens on a cold boot. I figure this has to be just another wake from sleep issue. Among us on this forum we have tried everything but burning incense and waving chicken feet, to no avail. Surely people at Apple are using this computer too and are aware of our problem. After all, it is a pretty obvious problem. My plan is to keep the faith but not hold my breath. Meanwhile, if any of us actually comes up with a solution, I would be very glad to hear it.

    My new MacPro 8-core 2.8GHz (early 2008),
    running 10.5.2 with all available updates,
    every time restarts when coming back from sleep.
    AppleCare Second-Level-Support knows about the problem,
    as you can "read beetween the lines", when you talk to them,
    but is not allowed to admit it,
    because otherwise, thousands of MacPro customers
    would be eligible to return their Mac to Apple ...
    My advice for the time beeing:
    Don't send your MacPro to sleep!
    Wait for a firmware-upgrade that will solve the issue.
    BUT - call AppleCare (and your dealer) OFTEN,
    so that they FEEL the pressure of unsatisfied customers!!!
    But also, don't waste your time (and theirs),
    doing what they want you to do with your machine,
    to solve the problem,
    because this is only said to calm you down!!!
    Wait for the firmware-upgrade!

  • How to automatically connect to wi-fi after turning macbook pro on from sleep (without pressing a button!)

    Hi there, I was just wondering how to connect to wi-fi as soon as I turn my macbook pro on from sleep mode
    The thing is, I constantly have to select the network i want, even though I've already set the location to automatic and even added the network to my preference list..
    What else can i do?
    I know a few friends who have the same macbook pro as me but do not have the same problem as me! And even they don't know what to do..

  • Thinkpad X220 X230 wake from sleep issues??

    I am looking to buy either an X220 or X230 Thinkpad laptop and have been reading the forums here for information about wake from sleep issues for these two machines. I have found a lot on the X220 - seems to be a common problem, so I am now thinking that isn't going to be my choice.
    My questions for those who may have experienced this with an X230:
    -is the wake from sleep a common issue with the X230 laptop?
    -is this more of a SSD issue than a regular HHD?
    -is this related to the amount of RAM installed?
    -is this more of a Win 7 issue? If so, any version that is more susceptible?
    I had an HP laptop that finally was unusable due to this issue and want to avoid that with a new laptop. I really like the features and size of the x230 - and that I can still get Win 7.
    Any input on how often the X230 has this type of issue - and any solutions that have worked - would be greatly appreciated, as I really am reluctant to have history repeated with this wake from sleep issue.
    Thanks!

    I've got a similar problem. For years, and through many OS & security updates, before going to bed I've been setting both Energy Saver settings to 3 minutes and then rebooting. The computer slept nicely until I hit "Return" in the morning. Lately hitting Return only wakes it up after the first night, the second reboot reacts in a couple of ways:
    1. The computer won't sleep, but the USB shuts off.
    2. The following morning the computer wakes up but the USB and the monitor doesn't.
    The only way to deal with this is to hold the power button down until the machine shuts down. Clearly, something is not right. The Mac needs to be shut down after only one reboot. If it's not shut down it won't sleep.

  • Time Machine turns itself on after my Mac Pro wakes from sleep (every time)

    Hi,
    I have a 2009 Mac Pro and it currently has Lion on it (10.7.4), but the problem I am about to explain started when the machine was running Snow Leopard, so it doesn't appear to be an OS-specific issue.
    I do not currently use Time Machine, I use Carbon Copy Cloner and some online backup solutions to handle backups. I did use Time Machine for a short time on this machine just after it was introduced, but I didn't end up using it for long and the external drive I used for the backups is no longer in service.
    The problem is this:
    I have Time Machine off and I have all of my drives (I have 4 drives in my Mac and an external drive) set not to be backed up for good measure. Time Machine will stay off like it should except in one instance. If I put my machine to sleep, when my Mac wakes, Time Machine is instantly turned on and I get a warning telling me no backup drive has been selected and that I should pick one. I go into the Time Machine preferences and turn it off. It will remain off (I've checked the preferences to be sure) until the next time the machine is put to sleep. Time Machine will remain off, even through reboots. It is only waking from sleep that causes this.
    I've tried zapping the PRAM, getting rid of the Time Machine preferences and even logging into a new, unused user account and testing it from there and the problem continues. This is really starting to annoy me. I wouldn't mind having TM on, but having to click through the warning every time my Mac wakes from sleep is frustrating.
    I don't want to have to buy a new external hard drive and let TM backup to the drive because, as I said, I've got my backup solutions handled already and I'm not willing to put yet more money to use a feature I don't need right now.
    I've done searches online and asked around and no one has been able to help me yet. So I thought I'd try here.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Do you see a wake reason in Applications>Utilities>Console?

  • Late 2013 Mac Pro wake from sleep crashes - which logs to look at?

    I started encountering wake-from-sleep crashes with my late 2013 Mac Pro a couple of weeks ago.  Prior to that the system had been pretty solid.  Other than app and OS updates installed from the App Store, I can't think of any software changes that might be responsible.
    What logs should I be looking for that could be helpful in diagnosing the problem?  Looking at other posts where people have been trying to diagnose similar issues I see people posting portions of panic logs that show which modules were loaded and might help point to a culprit, but I can't seem to find a log with a panic message in it.
    I had thought I'd determined my Anker USB3 powered-hub was related to the crashes, as when I disconnected it from my system I went several days without a crash.  Today I reconnected the hub with just a few devices on it and got a crash. I disconnected the devices but left the hub attached but got another crash.  I then disconnected the hub again, assuming I'd proved it was the culprit, but the machine has now crashed twice without the hub attached.
    I'm running OS 10.9.4.  Looking at other reports people reported some specific programs that added kernel extensions that were suspected to be the problem, but I don't have any of those programs installed on my Mac. The problem doesn't happen every time I wake the machine, but has happened at least four times today alone (after about three days of no crashes.)

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • PowerMac G4 Wake From Sleep Issues

    I have a PowerMac G4 Digital Audio with 2gb of ram, and a 768mhz processor. I just upgraded to 10.5 and have started to use it regularly for media streaming.  Everything works fine, except for one thing.  I put the Mac to sleep, and when I wake it up, I get the spinning beachball and after a few seconds the screen freezes.  This problem occured before I installed Leopard, but I thought that the upgrade might fix it.  I read somewhere that this might be because of Kernel Panic, but I don't know much about that either.  Please help!

    Wake from sleep is usually due to USB, Firewire, or PCI card issues... what all do you have installed?
    In 3 recent cases tis solved the problem though...
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667
    After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6of it's things.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Delete old Log files.
    At least if it doesn't fix it, it'll eliminate a few questions. :-)
    Besides, once you really, really need it... you can't install it!
